Trafficking in women occurs across some wellpatrolled international borders. and it is no coincidence that in many countries the institutions of justice. including the police. condone and profit from the trade in women. In Thailand. there is a flourishing trade in Burmese women and girls. in India. the same trafficking occurs with Nepali women and girls. Bangladeshi women are lured to Pakistan by promises of a better life or abducted from their homes. they are then sold in clandestine settings to brothels were pimps threaten them with their illegal immigrant status and then denounce them for having sex outside of marriage. Mr. Speaker. women are often subjected to genderbased economic discrimination and degradation because some states fail to recognize them as individuals outside of their material value.
